What kind of light does an optical telescope collect?
An optical telescope collects and focuses visible light from celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. This light is then directed to a detector or eyepiece for observation and analysis.
Telescope collects and focuses light using a mirror?
A telescope uses a mirror to collect and reflect light gathered from celestial objects. The mirror focuses this light to create a magnified image, allowing astronomers to study distant stars, planets, and galaxies with greater clarity and detail.
A telescope collects electromagnetic radiation from outer space and does what to it?
Yes a telescope collects electromagnetic radiation (light) an then brings this light to a focus so that the source of the light is magnified. The larger the diameter of the telescope, the more light it collects making the image at the focus brighter so as well as magnifying the image a telescope also allows one to see fainter objects.
At the end of the reflecting telescope is a what mirror?
At the end of the reflecting telescope is a primary mirror. This mirror collects and focuses light from distant objects before reflecting it to a smaller secondary mirror or camera for further magnification or analysis.
What is the main optical element of a refracting telescope?
The main optical element of a refracting telescope is the objective lens. This lens collects and focuses light from distant objects, forming an image that can be magnified and observed through an eyepiece.
Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".
What has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A Reflecting Telescope.
How does a telescope make a distant object look clearer?
It collects the light from the object and enlarges the picture using the lense, in other words, the glass at the end focuses on that object so you many see it better.
What kind of telescope's objective is a lens but contains no mirrors?
Refractors use a concave lens to refract the light rays through the main body, off the rectangular prism and into the eyepiece. These telescopes use no mirrors like reflectors (except the triangular prism contains a small mirror but a triangular prism is optional)
What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?
An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.
What are the lenses called in a reflector telescope?
The lenses used in reflector telescope is the concave lens.
How is an optical telescope different from the others?
An optical telescope focuses and concentrates visible light; radio telescopes focus and concentrate electromagnetic radiation (which means, "light") in the radio part of the spectrum.
